Mainly window coverings, lights on, pre-positioning doors with stops, & relocating anything that will prevent good navigation.

Same a previous comments. A few times the property was a mess and agent asked if I could clean up and hide the clutter. I responded very professionally by saying well I could but then I would have to add another $300.00 fee for this.
Needless to say I had to reschedule the shoot.

I do more than I should but it has bonded me to my agents. They know that I will move things, hide things, replace light bulbs, rollup hoses, sweep the deck etc.

That's just me. Not for everyone.

Here is a remembered quote. "I can't be there today but if you would do your normal pre-flight I know the photos will be wonderful".

I was a former Naval Pilot and I call my cleaning up a pre-flight.

Cheers,
Chuck

@DanSmigrod Now you know why I am crazy. LOL

After receiving a B.S. in still photography I went into the Navy to be a combat photographer and after I guessed too many correct answers on my entrance test they said I would be flying for them and could take photos after that. It was a take it or leave it offer.

I flew, then got accepted to Surface Warfare school and became a ship driver. At the end of my time I finally got into the photo field as a Public Affairs Officer in charge of the photo mates. It was a good run for sure.

WOW! Thanks for sharing. That's a lot of fire power.

I hearing the backstory of WGAN Members.

I will start a new discussion on that topic.

Best,

Dan
